DROWNED OFF ossABAw.
George Il. Pratt, IA Young English

George K. Pratt, "a Young English
man, Upset from a sail Boat.
Information was brought to the city
Yesterday that MIR. George Il. Pratt was
drowned of Ossabaw Island on Monday
afternoon. Mr.. Pratt was a carpenter
and the bass singer of the Independent
Presbyterian church choir. He had been
working on Ossahaw Island for Mr..
Waterbury. The latter had Mr. ). A.
Kelsall, painter, experimenting some
work, and on Monday Mr.. Pratt left Sa-
vannah for Ossabaw to collect the money
that Kelsall owed him.
Yesterday Mr.. Kelsall came to the city
and reported that the young carpenter
left Montgomery in sail boat for the
island on Monday morning and reached
there all right. Then he started for a
sail and ran out toward the sea. Mr.. W.
c. Sweat, a druggist on
Chatham square. to whom Kelsall
made a statement, says that kelsall told
him that he sent a boat out to meet Pratt
but before it got to him the sal boat turn
I'D over. That was off Raccoon Point
The boat and overcoat were recovered
Some of the missing mans friends think
it exceedingly strange that he should
have gone sajiing after reaching the island
when IL was almost too rough to sail from
Montgomery to the island.
Mr.. Sweat says that Mr.. Pratt told him
that 500 was due him by Mr.. kelsall. The
last named said that the amount was only
about $50 or less. The body may be
washed ashore. The young man was
boru In Ireland, OF English parents, anC
was about % years old. He had a very
good bass voice, and mad taste for archi
lecture and building.

EFFECTS OF The FREEZE.
The Vegetables that Outliyed Last
Weeks Cold Snap Entirely Killed

The Vegetables that Outlived Last
Weeks Cold Snap Entirely Killed.
The truck growers were blue yester-
day. Monday nights freeze killed about
everything in the vegetable line that
lived through the cold snap of last week,
and cut down TO the ground, all
the second crop and the plants that
had got fair start during the past ten
days.
1 The late crop OF beans and cucumbers
was not out of the ground when the last
freeze came and il escaped. Yesterday
nearly everything was killed. The freeze
was more severe than that of last week
and the week before. Mercury WAS down
to 81 degrees at 6 O'Clock yesterday morn
ing, and ice formed on water In buckets
left over night. The wind blew most of
the night and the frost was not as heavy
as it would have been had the night been
still.
A number of truckers from the farms
around the city were seen last night and
questioned about the effects OF the freeze.
Most OF them said that it was the hardest
yet. 1t will be day or two, though, be-
fore the extent of the damage can be told
The fruit orchards have suffered equally
with the vegetable gardens. the princ-
| pal fruit around Savannah is pears and
leplums, and the injury to both Is
,fgery great. In some orchards the fruit
spas been killed entirely, while in others,
(which are better protected, the damage
!rwill not be heavy. The farms west OF
Inc city along the river nave not suffered
ssas much as those south and east of the
seiffs
The Indications last night were for
another freeze, as hard. if not harder
than that of Monday night.
